How to Drive in Tirana– Rules of the Road

Tirana has many specific driving rules and regulations, some of which may differ between car rental companies. The main rules and regulations that you need to be aware of when renting a vehicle in Tirana include:

• To drive a car, you must be aged 18 years or older, and to rent a vehicle the typical minimum age is 21, however this can vary between car rental suppliers. Usually, if you’re aged under 25 you may be charged a young driver fee for car rental.
• In Albania, you drive on the right hand side of the road and overtake on the left– this is different to the UK, so it may be necessary to familiarise yourself with driving on the opposite side of the road if you’re not accustomed to it.
• Tirana is connected to other cities via a toll road. When renting a vehicle, tolls can usually be paid either automatically via a transponder, with cash, or added to your rental amount.
• An IDP is not necessary for UK or EU drivers, however you may want to consider obtaining one for peace of mind. Ensure that the licence you drive with is full and valid.
